Lyrics

Basic Needs

[Verse 1]

I'm guessin' that my basic needs were too much for you? (Hello?)

A conversation too much to ask?

But somehow, I get bare minimum in all you do

Baby, how ironic is that?

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell me, how the hell's that supposed to work?

You know damn well you should always put me first

I expect you to go to the ends of the Earth

But I'm not even askin' for that

I just wanted some understandin'

[Chorus]

I'm guessin' that my basic needs were too much for you?

Too much for you

I'm guessin' that my basic needs were too much for you?

Too much for you

[Verse 2]

I'm guessin' that maybe you fell out of love with me?

Don't worry, baby, 'cause so did I

The thought of dependin' on you is just crazy

There's no way that I would'vе survived

[Pre-Chorus]

So, tell me, how thе hell's that supposed to work?

You know damn well you should always put me first

I expect you to go to the ends of the Earth

But I wasn't even askin' for that

I just wanted some understandin'

[Chorus]

I'm guessin' that my basic needs were too much for you?

Too much for you

I'm guessin' that my basic needs were too much for you?

Too much for you, oh
